Google has made the artificial intelligence engine which powers services such as Google Now and Photos, and improves its search results, available online for free.<\/p>\n
Called TensorFlow, Google\u2019s AI engine is now an open-source project.<\/p>\n
Wired reported<\/a><\/strong> that by giving the software away, Google believes it can accelerate the evolution of AI – while benefiting from the contributions of outsiders to the project.<\/p>\n The search giant describes TensorFlow as a software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs.<\/p>\n Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the tensors (or multidimensional data arrays) communicated between them.<\/p>\n Google said this flexible architecture lets developers deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API.<\/p>\n Only part of the AI engine is being open sourced, though, along with some of the algorithms that run atop the platform.<\/p>\n Computer perfectly predicts Springbok win over Wales<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Google buys artificial intelligence company DeepMind<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Google\u2019s RankBrain uses AI to filter results<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Robocrime \u2013 what happens if an intelligent robot kills someone?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nMore on AI<\/h3>\n
